I recently moved into an student resident.
the thing about internet here is, they don't use WIFI, but Ethernet instead.
yea, still using cable:(
after connecting the cable, instead of my homepage,
i will be directed to an URL like :
http://172.17.160.2:8000/index.php?redirurl=http://www.google.com/

in order to get internet access, you have to login with a name/pass they assign you.

Since my ipad, phone, they need wifi.
so i'm wondering, can i use Airport Express, and spread a wifi hotspot, by connecting Ethernet.
did anyone tried it?
thanks!

ps: im sorry if i asked some silly questions. i'm a pure newbie;)

I don't see why it wouldn't. I use the AE in hotels that operate similarly with no issues.
